API Evangelist discusses the Cerner Millennium (now Oracle Health) FHIR R4 API, arguing it must be understood as a sequence of workflows rather than just a list of resources. The article details three specific workflows, including patient retrieval and clinical data write-back.
Oracle Health has published the FHIR API endpoint specifications for the Specimen resource within its AI application suite. This specification defines how specimen informationβused for diagnostic and environmental testingβis collected, maintained, and processed, encouraging developers to begin implementation in anticipation of production availability.
Centene has expanded its cloud-based Population-Health platform, HealtheIntent, to enhance care coordination for complex multi-morbid patients (Medicaid/Medicare). By integrating clinical and administrative data in near real-time, the platform addresses structural issues like information fragmentation and rising costs.
Kriv AI deploys a FHIR R4 native patient engagement platform on AWS HealthLake and Bedrock in eight weeks. This system addresses federal interoperability mandates, such as the ONC Cures Act and CMS-0057-F, supporting care gap closure for IDNs, payers, and ACOs.
This article explains Oracle Health (Cerner)'s multi-layered API ecosystem. Developers must use the Millennium API for core clinical workflows while leveraging the FHIR R4 API for standardized interoperability.
Many healthcare organizations mistakenly assume that the adoption of FHIR APIs signifies a standardized system integration process. However, vendors exhibit variations in API architecture and implementation. This guide compares major EHR platforms (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth) to clarify true interoperability challenges and necessary evaluation criteria.
This technical guide is written for developers integrating with Electronic Health Records (EHRs). It provides practical advice on navigating complex standards like FHIR and HL7 v2, detailing the 'hybrid reality' of integration and specific pitfalls in implementing SMART on FHIR authentication.
This article analyzes top healthcare software companies for 2026, highlighting firms like Zoolatech that possess modernization and integration capabilities over mere scale. It emphasizes the critical role of building API-first interoperability layers based on standards like FHIR and HL7.
Healthcare institutions are advancing the adoption of AI agents into Electronic Health Records (EHRs), with integration into major platforms like Epic and Cerner being a key focus. This article explains the concrete integration methods and technical challenges by utilizing standards such as FHIR and SMART-on-FHIR, which these systems support.
Oracle Health provides independent software vendors (ISVs) with a pathway to gain both technical credibility and commercial reach by developing, validating, and listing their FHIR apps within its ecosystem. This process helps achieve market differentiation and accelerate adoption.
Oracle Health has received Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) status under the federal government's health data sharing framework. This designation allows its information network to transfer health information between providers, payers, and government agencies through the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).
As of 2025, standardized data access is mandatory in healthcare, making FHIR integration increasingly critical. Major vendors (Epic, Cerner, etc.) are adopting FHIR R4 APIs to ensure seamless interoperability across EHR/EMR platforms, responding to regulations like TEFCA.
Oracle Health utilizes mechanisms like QHINβ’ certification and HIE (Health Information Exchange) to enable secure and efficient data exchange across diverse areas, including clinical records, payments, and public health. This strengthens collaboration between providers and payers, allowing access to comprehensive patient care histories.
Oracle announced the deprecation of support for the FHIR DSTU2 version. Developers utilizing this standard are strongly urged to migrate to FHIR R4 by December 1, 2025.
